Such a clean and comfortable place to stay with our dog. Great yard for her to hang out in. We would absolutely stay here again. Tonia was a wonderful host - kind, a dog-lover, and available if we needed anything at all.

The property is an oasis of beauty and peace! The hot tub was lovely, the yard has all sorts of areas for relaxation or gathering for cozy conversations. The landscaping was lovely and obviously has been many years in the making- I enjoyed mornings out enjoying all of it very much! Tonia was very responsive anytime we had a question or anything we needed and very friendly. She also has another unit on the property which is absolutely beautiful and each unit can be rented separately or both can be rented if you need extra space for your group.

We mainly booked and enjoyed our stay because it was quite, good hot tube, space for our dog to roam around, interesting things to looks at and cozy fireplace to enjoy. All in all we came back refreshed, host even offered longer stay but we had to get back and clean house after the power outages, otherwise we would have stayed longer :)

I would love to keep the Art Studio my little secret so I can keep it all to myself, but Tonia is such a nice person that I will do her a kindness by writing a review. It's an absolutely wonderful place especially if you have pets. It's very artsy, well-appointed & clean with Tonia's work posted throughout. There are French doors on two sides bordered by a lovely yard & garden big enough for our dogs to run & romp around. The fireplace makes it so cozy & warm if there's a chill. The neighborhood is full of historic homes, very walkable, with plenty of small eateries & shops. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Tonia Zambrano

Host profile image

I am a sculptor, painter, and photographer. I write and pretend to be a good cook. I love to travel and try new things I've never done before.

Why they chose this property

This precious Victorian (main house) was built in 1880. It is a family home, bought in the 1970s. Potter Highlands was one of the original cities in old Denver back in the mid-1800s and was developed by Irish, Italian, and Scottish immigrants who moved here during the gold and silver rush. There's some amazing history in this very quaint neighborhood. It's a magical property, and it's located in a great city. There's so much to do in Denver and it's right at your fingertips from this central location.

What makes this property unique

As an artist, I have added artistic accents throughout the property, from the gated entry to the backyard oasis to the copper gutters with custom-made rain chains. I designed and built the additions, pergolas, custom millwork, fences, gates, etc. Everyone who comes here says they feel at home. I hope you will too.
